Media release — As revealed today at The A.V.

On the very same day that faith soars into her first ongoing series in faith #1, jump on board the monthly adventures of Valiant’s history-smashing adventurers here with a best standalone entry point as Obadiah Archer and faith “Zephyr” Herbert set out on a romantic thrill ride that is going to change both of their lives forever! a lot more crossbows than Sleepless in Seattle! a lot more fistfights than The Notebook! This ain’t no common team-up… It’s Archer and Faith’s first date!
“Faith and Archer are both good people in a world where good people are in short supply,” series writer Rafer Roberts told The A.V. Club. “I don’t want to give too much away but like a lot of first dates, it’s cute and awkward and in constant danger of being ruined by super-villain sneak attacks.”
With Armstrong on the road, Archer is taking some much-needed personal time…and bringing his long-distance romance with Los Angeles’s number-one superhero off of FaceTime and into the real world! As these pals take their relationship to the next level, will romance conquer all? Or will they still find the time to brawl with some lending sharks? When a teenaged martial arts expert and a high-flying psiot get together, anything goes!
Jump on board the acclaimed ongoing series that IGN calls “strong and endlessly entertaining” here with a best standalone introduction to the jaw-cracking, heart-thumping adventures of Archer and faith on July 20th in A&A: THE ADVENTURES OF ARCHER & ARMSTRONG #5 – in stores the same day as faith #1! featuring covers by Kano (Gotham Central), David Lafuente (Ultimate Spider-Man), Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan), Joe Eisma (Morning Glories), Pere Perez (IVAR, TIMEWALKER), and Diego Latorre (Batman: Europa), don’t miss a star-crossed moment of comics history when paramour extraordinaires Rafer Roberts and Mike Norton introduce the world to Valiant’s number-one power couple, only in A&A: THE ADVENTURES OF ARCHER & ARMSTRONG #5!
